Multiple outlets, including the Global Restructuring Review and Solicitors Journal, have highlighted the addition of Restructuring Partner James Davison and Counsel Victoria Procter to Katten's London restructuring practice, noting their track records on complex UK and cross-border mandates, as well as the strength of Katten's international platform.
James stated, "It is an honour to be building on Katten's strategy for growth in Europe from a strong platform, which includes a formidable US restructuring business, representing parties across (and on all sides of) the capital structure; a team globally recognised for representing independent directors in Chapter 11 and out-of-court restructurings; a deep client base spanning sectors including private credit, retail, hospitality, real estate, financial services and energy; and an established London-based capability in core services, including structured finance and private credit, corporate, mergers and acquisitions (M&A), asset management, financial services and regulatory, real estate, litigation, intellectual property, data privacy, employment and tax."
Coverage emphasized the duo's complementary experience, spanning debtor- and creditor‑side corporate rescue and turnaround, as well as non‑contentious financial and corporate restructuring. Together, they have a history of working on high‑profile cross‑border matters.
